Hi. My name is Tyler - I run Snipplr.com. (Allan blogged about us last summer.) I'm working on an updated bundle for Snipplr, and was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me test it?
(BTW: For the rest of this message when I say "snippet", I'm referring to a snippet stored on Snipplr, not a TextMate snippet.)
I ask because I'm doing some strange stuff with it. Previously, I was sending a request to the server each time the user requested a snippet. This new version syncs your snippets and favorites directly into TextMate's bundle menu - giving you offline access to all your code stored in Snipplr.
To do this, I'm generating the TextMate bundle on-the-fly using PHP on the server - so each user's bundle is customized for their account. I'm creating the tmSnippet's, tmBundle's, plists, etc.. It's also got an auto-update feature to keep the bundle's snippets in sync.
So far everything is working. I need to add code to make it handle errors gracefully and also to check the integrity of the bundle before it installs an update of itself.
Any feedback on how I can improve the way I'm doing this would be greatly appreciated.
More info about the new bundle (and how to get it!) is available here:
